My sister and I loved the first one...and are therefore excited for the release of this one ^_^ (and yes...Shia Lebeouf is equally sexy lol)
film was so good though i didnt get why optimus was so powerfull, in the first 1 he wernt megatron was... other than that is was frickin awesome!!!
Optimus wasn't powerful in the second one, he got his ass handed to him quite a few times, hell... he even, you know (too lazy for spoilers). The reason he is so strong at the end is because he merged with the other robots meshing all of their power together to be uber amazing (spoiler).
OH SWEET JESUS SPOILERS! I'm going to watch the movie soon. Part 1 was amusing, I hope this one will be as well.
